Departing from the Crankshaft persona, Alexander Craig has paid his dues and written a new body of music that he will debut at the Hook & Ladder’s new Mission Room.

Miss Myra is a threat on every level. Her golden voice will bring you from rock bottom to ecstasy and back while her driving guitar rhythm holds time together. Her style of hard hitting swing guitar is reminiscent of Django Reinhardt. She also draws influence from legendary blues guitarists such as Leadbelly and Blind Boy Fuller. If you let her near a piano, you’ll hear virtuosity from ragtime to Lizst. In addition to her musical talent, she is known for lighting up the dance floor with traditional American jazz dances such as lindy-hop, charleston and blues.“Boom Boom Belam was birthed into the blue-collar belt of Minnesota — St Paul’s north side – Frogtown. He is reputed to snort gravel, chase whiskey and regularly slur obscenities.” Half Door Records
